(Closed) A month after Chemical Pregnancy and so nervous to test!

Hope you all are doing well on your TTC journey! I was here last month after 14 cycles of TTC # 1 and got a faint bfp at 10dpo and a darker one at 12 dpo, and the darkest at 14dpo. I was so so happy. I could not believe it.

Well, about 5 days later a couple of days after my missed period I stopped “feeling pregnant” if that makes any sense. I noticed I was spotting a little and cramping and just felt like something was wrong. I tested only to see that the lines were not getting darker and were very faint. I went and had my betas tested just to be sure and sure enough, they came back so low that I wasn’t even considered pregnant. My dr. basically wrote me off saying I was never pregnant to begin with like it was no big deal and to try again next month.

But in my heart, I know the truth. I had a chemical pregnancy.

I was gutted. I mean, to finally concieve after 14 months is a good sign, at least we finally know we can. But it still shatters my heart to think of what could have been.

So here I am a month later, about 3 days before AF is due. I am terrified to symptom spot or test, so I’m just kind of waiting. Seeing all the pregant women and mommas everywhere, I just can’t handle it. Ugh.

It is awful and I’m very sorry the doctor wrote it off. I had an early loss last month also, but it lasted long enough to confirm officially that it was there, however briefly.

Personally, I’d recommend taking the plunge and testing. That way, if you’re having recurrent miscarriages, you’ll knoW. Not getting pregnant can be a different issue than not holding into a pregnancy so the info might help the doctors in the future with getting on the right track testing.

Besides, it might be good news 😉 the ladies on the ttc after miscarriage and the pregnancy after miscarriage threads might have some good support and advice. Fx for a healthy, sticky baby!

It’s so horrible that the doctor wrote you off like that. I had a chemical pregnancy the last cycle too but didn’t even bother calling the docs office as the lines never got very dark and AF came only 1 day late. I did get pregnant the very next cycle (#18!!) and am now 7 weeks with a healthy little heartbeat in there. Good luck to you!!!
